Purchase options and add-ons

Now a major web series. The 26/11 attacks, as they are now known, is widely regarded as the world's first hybrid terrorist attack. The attackers achieved through this long-drawn siege what Al Qaeda did through the high-visibility mass-casualty attack of 11 September 2001. The response to this attack was the first instance of all three wings of the Indian armed forces coming together to fight terror. The attacks tested the mettle of India's elite counter-terrorist force, the National Security Guard, whose strike element was entirely made up of army personnel; the navy dispatched its marine commandos in the initial hours of the attack; the air force flew the NSG into the city and air-dropped them over Nariman House. Black Tornado, as the operation was called by the NSG, is the story of these men called into action in the desperate hours following the most sensational terrorist attack the country has ever seen.

    This is a fast paced and great book on our military and security agencies' response to 26/11. Mumbai Police bore the brunt of casualties in the initial phase. Then MARCOS played a stellar role in safeguarding civilians at the Taj. Finally, the IAF IL 76 flew in the 51st Special Action Group of the NSG, whose operation formed the title of this book. Overall a brilliant book on COIN ops.
